Dear Friend,
Realize that when you make a change in your life, you will experience conflicting feelings. It is only natural, just as change itself is natural. The process of change can be stressful, even when changes are for the better. You need a game plan for handling stress. Here are some tips with dealing with life adversity and stress of change.
Stay focused on your dream for a better life.
We all have and struggle in some area of life and hit hard times when we make changes. Friends and family may criticize you. You may doubt yourself. It may be exhausting to do all that is required to get to the next level of achievement or preparation. I never said it would be easy. But you can ease some of the stress by not focusing on how hard it is. Instead, keep in mind how much better it will be when you have completed your goal.
Stay true to your principles and beliefs.
Stress will be triggered when you do things that go against your beliefs and values. The process of change can test those basic beliefs and, occasionally, you may find that you have compromised your beliefs. You may find yourself being untruthful or in other situations that you would not normally have to contend with. This is stressful because you are violating your own rules. To avoid this stress, do your best to stay within your normal guidelines for behavior. Be aware that temporarily abandoning those guidelines will have serious and stressful consequences.
Build a support group
Relationships that are positive and make you stronger are critical to your ability to achieve your goals and stay focus on your journey. Some partnerships are more successful than others. Identify a person who has had a positive influence on you in your pursuit of a goal.
Stop planning and get into action
Things begin to happen now because you have laid the groundwork and made your decision. Now is the time to take advantage of the opportunities that open up. It can be daunting when change begins to ignite all around you, but this is when you want to act upon your dreams.
During your journey acknowledge your mistakes…learn from your past
The person who is willing to admit mistakes and imperfections is more likely to inspire confidence than one who never acknowledges being wrong or having weaknesses. Why? Because we all make mistakes and we all know we make mistakes.
When you feel bad or depressed help someone else.
I hope this helps
Till next time your friend

Things to think about, Life will always have challenges just remember this too shall pass. Your ultimate goals and objectives you have set out for your life resolves around your fears, anxiety or low self-confidence. Do you have a sense for which one of these may be causing the hiccups you mention? If so you have the first step to getting out of your rut.
Many of my clients respond to their problem with this statement, “Every time I say to myself I need to make a change, it always backfires and I end up going one step forward, 500 steps back.”
Do you feel this way, if so you are not alone!
The truth is when you get the feelings that your goals are impossible to reach, do you believe it has to do with the goals you have selected or with uncertainties/fears/negative challenges that impact your belief that you will get there?
When this happens you need to try harder to put yourself in situations that will create opportunity of change. Not only will doing something for change and the enjoyment of it help get out of your mental rut; it will give you a new opportunity to form relationships and friends… breaking down your fear boosting self confidence are all supported by the willingness to change.
I look forward from hearing from you!!!
Love and Blessing
LeToya
